Transforming workplace wellbeing for a healthier future

Attendees joined leading HR professionals and wellbeing experts at the CIPD Wellbeing at Work Conference on 20 October. This powerful one-day event was designed to help attendees create a healthier, more resilient workplace.

Whether you're a seasoned HR generalist or a dedicated wellbeing lead, this was your opportunity to connect with peers, hear from forward-thinking speakers, and walk away with actionable strategies to elevate your culture.

The subject of wellbeing is more important than ever. Reports have shown that it is heavily linked to retaining staff.* Subjects such as stress, burnout and mental health have shown shockingly high statistics, so something needs to change. Delegates joined us to learn about how we can help you and your organisation work towards a healthier future.
